title: Ophthalmic eponyms from the Mayo Clinic.
abstract: Numerous ophthalmic eponyms are associated with the Mayo Clinic. Some of the terms, such as Hollenhorst plaque and Kearns-Sayre syndrome, are well known, whereas others are relatively cryptic or parochial. Although eponyms have their detractors, the designations will likely appear in the medical lexicon for many years to come.
